Night Carrier Approach and Landing

submitted by GeeSussFreeK

1 decade 4 years 1 month 1 week ago

In tribute to my grandpa and all our fine military folks. No, I don't think I will ever do anything this hard in my life. Nor will I ever be able to match my Pa's story of landing with no fuel, an engine down, in a hurricane with no running lights on the carrier because you are in hostile air space. While this isn't video of that exact event, its still very stressful to me.

Here is a game, when watching, try and guess who's eyes your seeing from...are you looking from the carrier at the plane, or the plane to the carrier. The prize in a self back pat :)

Warning tones are (1) radar altimeter (set to 1200' and 375') and (2) a rapid warning tone from the radar altimeter due to a generator failure. LSO calls for "Wing lights," which were lost due to the electrical malfunction (unknown to LSO). Expeditious emergency procedures for an electrical failure to regain lost electrical buses were completed while performing demanding tasks involved in landing a jet aboard the pitching deck of an aircraft carrier at night.

Sounds to me like a lot of heavy breathing plus no visuals. Like those phone calls I ~~make~~ get from time to time.

Moving this video to GeeSussFreeK's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

when the warning sounds started periodically, I instantly uncontrollably said aloud 'pull up, pull up'
